Clinical Trial: Dynamic Treatment Regiments for Glucocorticoid Tapering
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Using SMART Design to Develop Dynamic Treatment Regimens for Glucocorticoid Tapering
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical trial is to better understand how people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) respond to gradual dose reduction, or "tapering", of steroid medications like prednisone.Some people with RA have symptoms when steroid dose is reduced, while others don't.This trial will look at different patient characteristics, including levels of inflammation in the body, differences in the way the brain processes sensory information, and certain hormone levels, to help researchers better…
